Woo hoo!!!! I'm first.

Jayne - Jamie's teacher was fine the day before, the note said that her death came as a shock, so I am guessing it wasn't an illness etc... not sure what happened though.
As for Harrison... I think I am going to be the one with issues when he goes into his own room... Rob and I fell asleep on the sofa bed the other night, and could have stayed out there all night, but I was stressing because I wasn't near Harrison... I am terrible when I am away from him... I was never this bad with the other kids... I guess it's because of losing Noah.

Today we all went to Blackbutt reserve (which is a Nature reserve down the road from where we live) and it is just gorgeous... Harrison fed the ducks, and saw emu's and koalas and wallabies and wombats and loads of different birds... we had a picnic and we all had the best time... can't wait to go back when it is warmer

Hello!!

Jayne, I'd love to meet you! There are a few parks we could meet at.

It's my lil brothers 18th today and we are all going out for dinner! I'll be sure to take photos and upload them

Filled in a questionnaire the hospital sent out. not too sure what to think of it just yet, as most of the questions I answered "not yet". So not sure whether thats good or bad. lol

Hi Girls,
We're at my DH's parents place atm for a week. I get along really well with them and it isn't weird at all the DH isn't here with me. It is my home away from home and they are loving having Tobi here. They can totally understand now what I mean when I ring up and say that I am exhausted after looking after Tobi. He is such a busy little baby and has so much energy to burn. But such a happy little guy too. The walking is getting there, but still not keen to give up the crawling yet. We took him to Australia Zoo the other day and he loved it. Koalas are his definite favourite and he patted them three times. We went to the beach too and the sand was a very bit hit. If you dug a hole, he sat in it (so we buried him). If you built a castle, he knocked it down...he wasn't quite sure about the water though.

Kym - So glad to hear that Monkey is getting teeth. I bet you are a little relieved, even though it wasn't a real concern. Losing Saturday work sounds like a great idea for the family, but we hardly get to catch up as it is during the week. Your going to have to be so much more organised to fit everything in. I hope Monkey is self settling again soon. She's a good girl and will get there.

Jayne - I have been thinking about a big boy bed for Tobi. I think I will take him out of the cot at about Christmas time. We are going to try for number 2 when DH gets home in August, so I want to have Tobi into a bed well before next baby comes. But as far as themes. I am thinking that I will keep a lot of the same stuff until he can really work out what he wants (which could be by then). At this stage he hasn't taken a liking to any particular thing (other than stuff animals).

Sally - Good luck with your appointment on Wednesday. Let us know how it goes with his tongue.

Lisa - sorry to hear about James's teacher. Are the kids getting counselling or anything?

Me - I have been really tired last few weeks. I am guessing it has to do with holidaying plus this shake diet. I have lost 7kg this month, which is awesome. I now weigh less than what I did when I was married. I was really faint when I had my AF last week and then I realised I hadn't eaten red meat for three weeks. Take note...eat more red meat. Could explain why I have been so tired too.

What are you all doing for Mothers Day?

Jamies whole school has been offered counselling... I am not sure if Jamie is going to take it or not... I think it was more about the shock of losing a teacher that got to him more than anything.

Not much to report today... just cleaning and checking emails... DH has been home all weekend so that has been brilliant!!!

you guys are all too funny and know me so well.....
yep already thinking about big girls room, have found perfect toddler bed at ikea that will match jem's bookshelf etc but trying to decide if we go carebears or flower fairies or just keep with the shabby chic thing she has happening at the moment, will most likely definately get the bed and wait and see when i feel like her being in big bed unless i get pregnant then will try and organise stuff so that she is definately not in the cot for the couple of months before next bub is due
teeth brushing - freak child that got teeth at 5 months got a toothbrush and baby toothpaste not long after that, LOVES brushing her teeth, the nurse did say though and this is stupid and annoying that she should be brushing her teeth twice a day the seconed time after her nighttime feed, which i dont follow coz her nighttime feed settles her to close to sleep and if i put something mega exciting like teeth brushing in between i doubt it would work
jemima still has no real words happening lots and lots and lots of babbling she is really going to be a chatterbox when she starts talking, i am not worried though am sure she will pick heaps of stuff up at daycare etc
still hate the idea of daycare but do need the break, this will only be a little working stint i think to 'get it out of my system' and get some of the weight i put on on holidays off (i ate for 16 days) and to get some money for next holiday that i am already planning heheheehehe

holiday was awesome so very awesome, jemima was an angel, she was stuck on australia time which was perfect it meant that we could go out for dinner at 7pm and that was her dinnertime being her 5pm but even better her normal wake up of HER 6am was OUR 8am so we slept in every day of holidays!!!!! she slept in the car between every town and she slept on the planes every flight, i cant ask for much more than that!!!!!!
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...6&id=672125417 try that to get to see some photos of the holiday - she got to eat snow and got to play on swings in some very pretty places
i have put on so much weight on the holidays i am about to weigh myself and not look and get benji to write it down and then do it again in 2 weeks THEN see what the damage is ho hum

kymmmmmy did monkey wean one or two feeds last week??? both at once would be hard to adjust to for your body and your mind??? how often were you feeding??? i feed jem in the morning (this one i think she could take it or leave it but when she wants it she wants it bad, but sometimes she forgets for ages that she wants it) and the nighttime before bed feed which i like to have except that she is starting to pull harder on my hair while she is feeding which i hate

i think that was all i could think of to reply to...... oh yeah i so would have been first to reply to thread if i was not overseas hehehehe
